The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn’t overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game-changer my skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!” —Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.97. Promising review: “I’m obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I’ve purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand.” —Tara BillsGet it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three flavors). Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I’m a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn’t quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they’re usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review: “Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!” —KS2018Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.  Promising review: “I’ve been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great and with the price point I don’t have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!” —Jessica MGet a pack of three from Amazon for $13.49+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 16 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs). Promising review: “I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!” —Tiara Scheurell Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine styles). Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Promising review: “This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand’s use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren’t left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don’t have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!” —Sofia K Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades). Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Check out a TikTok of the Dream Drop in action. Promising review: “Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest.” —AZMOMGet it from Amazon for $6.90+ (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random; available in three styles)!Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront! Promising review: “This has got to be one of my favorite purchases of the entire year. It’s absolutely perfect in every single way. Perfect size, perfect cook every single time, perfect little skully face. Incredibly simple to use and clean. I can’t rave about this thing enough. Absolutely fantastic!” —Kelsi E McCoyGet it from Amazon for $11.89 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page ofr this price). Promising review: “This bodysuit is amazing! The material is not sheer. The thong portion is surprisingly comfortable, which is a big plus. I’m pretty sure I need it in every color now! The price is reasonable, and the fabric is warm and comfortable. Highly recommend!” —Emily KahleGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in women’s sizes XS–3X and ten colors). Promising review: “I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works.” —BenGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six styles). Promising review: “I am absolutely loving this serum! It creates the smoothest shave I’ve ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I’m impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It’s a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!” —Shay Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (available in three scents). Promising review: “These kitty coasters are the perfect blend of cute and practical! The craftsmanship is excellent, with intricate details that bring the cat design to life. They’re thick enough to protect my furniture from hot or cold drinks without being bulky. Plus, they add such a fun and cozy touch to my home decor! I’ve received so many compliments on them from guests  — they’re definitely a conversation starter. Bonus: they make a fantastic gift for any cat lover. Highly recommend!” —RenaeGet a set of three from Amazon for $9.99. Promising review: “I normally don’t love lip products. I have small lips and I am never really satisfied! But this stuff is sooooo good! You don’t even understand how moisturizing and glossy this is. It’s not sticky, very pigmented, and the stain it leaves behind is gorgeous! I got the Rosie one, and it’s chef’s kiss perfect! I’m totally getting more!” —Katherine Stanton Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 12 shades). Promising review: “I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently.” —Brent HelmGet it from Amazon for $7.70.  Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products. Head’s up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier. Promising review: “Not to be gross but when I lightly use this on my dry skin I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don’t run too hard! Gentle strokes.” —Juliet”Color me converted. It’s so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That’s really a ‘you’ creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don’t even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do.” —Mandi KonesniGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two). Promising review: “Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!” —RinaGet it from Amazon for $9.90. Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review: “So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized.” —nancyGet a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99. Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Promising review: “I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom.” —MTGet it from Amazon for $79+ (available in two sizes and three shapes). Reviewers especially love this lamp for small spaces, since it doesn’t take up valuable surface area! Promising review: “I love the way the light looks and the multiple colors, but honestly I love the flexibility of the neck. I can manipulate it to fit the function of what I am doing. I have used it as reading light and mood light by the bed. I had no problem reading my book at night. I have used it as a task light to do arts and crafts. More recently, I have used it at work and it now has a permanent spot at my desk. The light was a great value for the money for me.” —TereseGet it from Amazon for $35.99. I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My “I’m not like other girls” bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I’m like, “Am I still wearing them??” I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I’ll wear leggings, and I’m happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren’t wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. Promising review: “Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!” —Criselle JohnsonGet them from Amazon for $29 (available in women’s sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles). Promising review: “Feels like you’re walking on a cloud. I’ve had these for two years, and they still feel the same as when I got them. The color is identical to the picture on your scree,n and they feel like heaven. The price can’t be beat.” —The Unordinary Mom Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women’s sizes 4–15 and men’s sizes 3–16 and 16 colors). Check out a TikTok of the highlighters in action. Promising review: “These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr Pen did it again! If you don’t have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!” —FBJH12Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.98 (available in four color sets).Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of Touchland in action. Promising review: “Touchland’s hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!” —Briana R. Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland’s Amazon storefront for more options). Promising review: “They are SO comfortable and breathable, and my poor footsies are ruined from wearing heels everyday when I was younger. These look fabulous and feel great. What a great find! I’m gonna have to buy them in another color now.” —JeGoGet it from Amazon for $28.04+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 styles). Reviewers also use this as an easy detangler both for themselves and for their kiddos! Promising review: “Perfect hair day every day! This spray is both beautiful and fragrant! It leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed, while the scent is absolutely delightful. A must-have for anyone looking to add shine and a lovely fragrance to their hair routine!” —charlotteGet it from Amazon for $28. Promising review: “I’m terrible about putting on lotion even though my skin is dry. I just hate it. But I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel great. Has a light pleasant scent. Spray it on and rub it in. So easy! I just apply when going to bed or at least when I don’t have to put anything other than lounge clothes on right away. My skin looks and feels so much better it makes me want to keep using it.” —SladeGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Promising review: “I get compliments every time I wear this. The color is absolutely perfect. It is a nice weight. It goes well with either dresses or pants, which is nice. I would recommend to everyone!” —Cara W. Get it from Amazon for $39.38 (available in women’s sizes XS–XXL and 15 colors). Promising review: “I have combination skin and the Tatcha Rice Wash is the only thing I can use. I was gonna spend my last few dollars on the Tatcha but then I saw this. With the price I thought if it doesn’t work, it isn’t a huge deal. I’m never going back, this is like the exact same thing and you barely need any, the scent is the only difference besides it being a bit thicker BUT THAT’S GOOD because it’s BARELY thicker AND that means even less goes a much longer way. This is a holy grail item. If you haven’t tried it, I soooo highly recommend.” —LingalingGet it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). BrüMate is a small business that specializes in mugs, tumblers, coolers, and other insulated products. Bonus – this is dishwasher-safe! Promising review: “The BrüMate is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container. Its 100% leakproof design means you can confidently toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you’re hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!” —Horace DixonGet it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in 16 colors and two sizes). Promising review: “I love this backpack! It feels like butter! This backpack is everything and more. It can be used with any kind and color of clothing so I don’t have to switch backpacks as often. It is soft, just the right size, and items can be easily accessed. Stitching looks good, all of the zippers open and close smoothly, the shoulder strap is easily adjustable, It’s convenient and beautiful. Just the right amount of pockets. Great for traveling as it is sooo lightweight, but also hits the mark for daily use.” —Kazakh KazakhstaniGet it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in 20 styles). Promising reviews: “I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It’s a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff 🩷” —Losa”I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10.” —MissKayMaeGet it from Amazon for $25 (available in two sizes). Promising review: “Absolutely love these. Colors are bright and don’t fade. Perfect for any ADHD student. Having these to fiddle with and stick together during class is a lifesaver. Keeps my attention on the lesson and I don’t need to bring anything else to class that doesn’t look like school materials. I have gotten lots of compliments.” —Natalie kehrGet it from Amazon for $14.99. You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: “Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable.” —Alex BonickGet it from Amazon for $39.99. Promising review: “I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!” —BarbieGet it from Amazon for $18.99. Promising review: “These socks feel soooo luxurious!! I’ve washed them a few time already and they still are very soft, and look brand new.” —Amazon CustomerGet a set of three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in eight styles of packs). Promising review: “These look just like the real deal and you get four!
